Dont feel like writing this right now.

So Im not gonna right much, im gonna try and keep it brief... im not in the mood.
In DF since last wednesday. Monstropolis of a city... it takes two hours to get from where we were first staying all the way to the north of the city... and thats no traffic on the subway.
Javier´s house was at the southern most part of the map of DF, putting us a bit far from everything. We didnt go out at night usually for safety but mainly because we had so much going on in the day.
From Frida Kahlos house to Chapultepec park, we exhausted our days. look at sonya´s blog for more detailed information... www.safosonya.blogspot.com she also has some of those fancy digital imaging pictures that are so popular right now.
Javier and his roomates were very nice and accomadating when they were around so on sunday night (when we knew everyone would be around) we cooked them a delicious spaghetti dinner with the sauce made from all fresh MEXICAN ingredients. It was an absolute hit... they couldnt eat enough.

So yesterday we arrived in the condesa neighborhood, to a new couchsurfers house. It is a very art deco, chic, and yuppified place. And in MExico city, it is very unlike morelia or smaller towns where if you get on the bus you say buenos dias, or if you catch eye contact u say que tal or hola. Mexico CITY has that real City feel, where no strangers interact and we feel really disconnected.
However, yesterday in this really gorgeous EspaƱa Park, we sat next to this older gentleman who just wanted to chat. We must have killed two hours talking about ways to defend yourself with Karate or Tae Kwan Doe, (he was a teacher of these arts) places we should visit, life in general, including RIDING BIKES which I cant wait to get to Chiapas to do.

Our current host sucks, he made us stay out until 10 o clock last night, which wasnt bad, we enjoyed ourselves (in our safe neighborhood) but were dead tired and fell asleep the second that we got home.
thanks
bye
